Integrated Buildings

The Systems Basis of Architecture

• Buch mit Leinen-Einband

Produktbeschreibung

In architecture, systems refer to components including site, structure, building envelope, interior and service (such as heating and air conditioning). The integration of building systems is a successful union of design intention and the technical demands of a project. This volume presents architectural technology in terms of component systems. With a combination of topical material and illustrated case studies, coverage includes guidelines for selecting technical systems for the conceptual, schematic and design development stages of a project as well as analytic methods illustrating the value, benefit and application of building systems integration.
